Center Chris Kelly took the next step toward a return to the Bruins’ lineup when he practiced with the team Friday at Ristuccia Arena.

Kelly’s previous step was taking the morning skate with the club Thursday. Kelly will travel with the team to Montreal, but coach Claude Julien would only say Kelly is day-to-day and wouldn’t commit to a game-time decision. Kelly has been out since March 11 with a broken tibia.
